Hi all. I have a 40th to attend shortly. It is fancy dress and we've been asked to go dressed as our favourite 80's icon. I was thinking kylie mole. But then remembered i will have my b/fed baby. I need suggestions on costumes that are 1. easy to b/feed in 2. easy to find 3 and most important....cheap! All sugestions welcome :-)

Madonna would be the easiest... Black skirt with black bra, try and find some net top to go over the black bra. Lots of jewlery (especially crosses) and black boots. Oh and teased hair with lots of black bows and stuff

QUOTE (BessMarvin @ 16/03/2012, 01:58 PM) Easier still would be one of the ladies from the Simply Irresistible clip - little black dress, slicked back hair Interesting factoid of the day. One of the 'ladies from the simply irresistible clip' is now a NSW conservative politician. * Cyndi Lauper Pat Benatar Early 80's Madonna In all cases you just dress as a bundle of rags - don't forget the raggedy headband - some fingerless gloves and every bangle and necklace in a 3 mile radius and you are there!

With all the big girls I see at high schools these days, there should be a big sized school uniform in an op shop so you could be Kylie Mole. Most button down the front. Just remember to write "I love Dino" on your arm in texta, wear thick black eyeliner and chew lots of gum.

Can't believe my baby girl is 1!
Kylie Minogue.. get a big curly wig and you could wear just about any outfit. Lots of hair, shoulder pads, bangles, bright clothes, stilettos, mini skirt, big ear rings. or a sparkly dress.. lol http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QIHxEq-Ql60 This post has been edited by Princess.cranky.pants: 16/03/2012, 01:16 PM
